Neither did Genesis, you idiot.




While Yes are better musicians (except for Collins, that is), Genesis' music is so much more powerful, moving, and diverse.
My grip must be flipping
Cos his handshake keeps slipping
My hopes keep on dipping
And his lips keep on smiling all the time

Yes > FGTR
Time And A Word < Trespass
Yes Album > Nursery Cryme
Fragile < Foxtrot
CTTE > SEBTP
TFTO > The Lamb
Relayer > TOTT
Going For The One > WAW
Tormato = ATTWT(never heard the whole thing)
Drama > Duke
90125 > Abacrap
Big Generator < Shapes
Union >> Invisible Touch

Haven't heard later yes albums, but judging by the ratings, they have to beat the horrible WCD and CAS.

Still, Yes wins. Correct me if I'm wrong somewhere



Okay...there's no way in hell Tales From Topographic Oceans is better than The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.

Genesis without a doubt.

Yes never produced anything near Selling England, Foxtrot or Nursery Cryme.

in response to certif1ed, if you understand yes' lyrics, theyre actually quite amazing. they are sort of in a completley different dimension from genesis and others.

The lyrics are one of the major things I have issues with - in my opinion they suck - but I'll just leave it there...

 

In her white lace
You can clearly see the lady sadly looking.
Saying that she'd take the blame
For the crucifixion of her own domain.

I get up, I get down,
I get up, I get down.
Two million people barely satisfy.
Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late.
The eyes of honesty can achieve.
How many millions do we deceive each day?
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.

In charge of who is there in charge of me.
Do I look on blindly and say I see the way?
The truth is written all along the page.
How old will I be before I come of age for you?
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.

Kings of progressive rock.
